I Survived - Nighat

A young mother with no work experience is divorced by her husband and must fight for custody of her child. She began practicing law in an effort to prepare herself to keep her son and she faced workplace harassment, but her son inspired her to keep fighting, build her career, reach financial freedom and ultimately get custody.

This story was created in June 2010 as part of APC’s Feminist Tech Exchange workshop in Islamabad, Pakistan, in collaboration with P@SHA.
